Ethel M Chocolates & Botanical Cactus Garden

Ethel M Chocolates

A boutique chocolate factory in Henderson where you can watch the production line through windows. Next door is a cactus garden with more than 300 species of desert plants.

Ethel M was founded by the Mars family. The factory offers free self-guided tours, where you can watch chocolates being made through glass windows, and the shop offers tastings and purchases. The neighboring cactus garden covers about one hectare and is free to visit. Every year from November to New Year’s, it holds a Cactus Garden Lights festival, with hundreds of thousands of lights illuminating the cacti, making it a popular local winter event. It is about a 20-minute drive from the Strip.
